web page includes information about
the NRTL Program (see https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
FM Approvals, LLC, as a NRTL. FM’s
expansion covers the addition of 24 test
standards to its scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
agency provides the final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available

Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
from the agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
FM submitted an application, dated
July 15, 2016, (OSHA–2007–0041–0008)
to expand its recognition to include 28
additional test standards. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. In reviewing the
application, OSHA determined that
three of the requested standards had
been withdrawn by the controlling
standards development organization;
therefore, OSHA cannot add those three
standards to FM’s NRTL scope of
recognition. Additionally, one of the
requested standards, ISA 60079–26, has
been superseded by UL 60079–26,
which was also included in FM’s
expansion application. Accordingly,
OSHA will add the active standard, not
the superseded one, and OSHA will
grant recognition to 24 standards in the
final expansion. OSHA did not perform
any on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing FM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 15, 2018, (83 FR 22523). The
agency requested comments by May 30,
2018, but it received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA is now
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of FM’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to FM’s
application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0041 contains
all materials in the record concerning
FM’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined FM’s expansion
application, capability to meet the
requirements of the test standards, and
other pertinent information. Based on a
review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that FM meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.7 for expansion of
recognition, subject to the specified
limitation and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with
this final notice to grant FM’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of FM’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed below in Table 1.

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. However, for
convenience, the use of the designation
of the standards developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation may occur.
Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see
OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix
C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL

recognized for a particular test standard
may use either the proprietary version
of the test standard or the ANSI version
of that standard. Contact ANSI to
determine whether a test standard is
currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, FM
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. FM must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. FM must meet all the terms of
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;

3. FM must continue to meet the

for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of FM, subject to the
limitation and conditions specified
above.

SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., as a
NRTL. UL’s expansion covers the
addition of 26 test standards to its scope
of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires the Agency publish
two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first
notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides the final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
UL submitted an application, dated
May 31, 2017, (OSHA–2009–0025–0020)
to expand its recognition to include 26
additional test standards. This
application was updated on November
1, 2017, (OSHA–2009–0025–0021) to
include an additional standard, for a
total of 27 standards. OSHA determined
that one of the standards requested in
UL’s application, UL 2703, ‘‘Standard
for Mounting System, Mounting
Devices, Clamping/Retention Devices,
and Ground Lugs for Use with Flat-Plate
Photovoltaic Modules and Panels,’’ does
not meet the requirements for an
appropriate test standard in 29 CFR
1910.7; indeed, this standard is not
included on the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards. The types
of products covered by UL 2703 do not
fit into any of the categories covered by
OSHA’s NRTL Program. Specifically,
the standard covers mechanical
products, while OSHA’s NRTL Program
addresses mainly electrical end
products. Accordingly, OSHA declines
to add UL 2703 to the NRTL Program’s
List of Appropriate Test Standards and
rejects UL’s application to add the
standard to its scope of recognition.
OSHA staff performed a detailed
analysis of the application packet and
reviewed other pertinent information.
OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing UL’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
April 20, 2018, (83 FR 17568). The
agency requested comments by May 7,
2018, but it received no timely
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of UL’s scope
of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to UL’s
application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2009–0025 contains
all materials in the record concerning
UL’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined UL’s expansion
application, capability to meet the
requirements of the test standards, and
other pertinent information. Based on a
review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that UL meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the specified
limitation and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with
this final notice to grant UL’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of UL’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed, below in Table 1.

List of Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA also announces the addition of four new test
standards to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
Table 2, below, lists the test standards that are new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA has determined that these test standards are appropriate
test standards and will include them in the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards.

OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, the use of the designation of the standards developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3,
Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test
standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or
the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a
test standard is currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
FM must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. FM must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. FM must meet all the terms of recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. FM must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on FM's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of FM, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
